Description

This meeting aims to be a further step towards the construction of one wide Field-of-View Gamma Ray Observatory in the Southern Hemisphere able to cover the energy range of 100 GeV to 100 TeV.

It follows the meeting held in Heidelberg last October. Both the scientific case and the different proposed designs will be reviewed and discussed.
